Split PDF

About Split PDF

What does Split PDF do?

Break a large PDF into smaller documents. Choose a page range to extract a section, or split every page into its own file. Runs locally in your browser.

Who is it for?

Students handing in work, professionals sending contracts and reports, administrators preparing submissions, and anyone who has hit an email attachment limit. No technical knowledge is needed.

Is it free?

Yes. Split PDF is free with no account, no watermark on your output, no daily cap and no trial period. Because it runs on your own device it costs us nothing to run, which is why there is no catch.

Is it safe to use with confidential files?

Yes, and not because we promise to behave. Split PDF never sends your file anywhere — the work happens in your browser. There is no upload, so there is no copy of your document in our systems at any point.

What file formats are supported?

Input: PDF. Output: PDF.

How do I write a page range?

Use numbers and ranges separated by commas, for example 1-3, 7, 10-12. Pages are counted from 1.

Do I get a ZIP file?

Each output PDF is offered as its own download, so you can take only the parts you need without unzipping anything.

How to use it

1. 1

   Add your file

   Drag it onto the box above, or use Browse files. On a phone you can also take a photo or pick from your camera roll.

2. 2

   Check the settings

   Sensible defaults are already chosen. Most people never need to change them.

3. 3

   Run it

   The progress bar shows real progress, not a decorative animation. Everything happens on your device.

4. 4

   Preview the result

   Look at the output before you download. If it is not right, adjust a setting and run it again — nothing has been saved anywhere.

5. 5

   Download

   Save the file. Closing this tab discards it from memory, so download anything you want to keep.
